Our approach to change

The right cultural fit

The first step for any change project is to build a current culture map in an organisation. We then define the desired future state of culture. This provides a gap analysis between current and future state.

We then define the activities required to shift values, behaviours and beliefs to the future state. We often work with client HR or OD consultants to embed key behaviours into the ongoing performance criteria to ensure we can measure success.

Stakeholder engagement

We interview key stakeholders to establish relationships and understand compelling issues. We then develop communications plans in line with their needs.
